Message of the Ambassador

It is a distinct honour to represent Afghanistan in the United Kingdom. The deep-rooted bond of friendship and decades-long partnership between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland draw its strength from our joint fight against terrorism and shared values of pluralism, freedom and peace. I am honoured to contribute and build further upon this solid foundation.
